Crew Bear is 5 Months

Crew Baby Bear: 

Another month has flown by and I feel luckier every day to be the mom of two wonderful baby boys. Your smile is SOOOOO contagious, and more often than not, you flash your big toothless grin for anyone to see. It hypnotizing...truly hypnotizing when you lock eyes with me (or anyone for that matter). I seriously can't look away! You are such a happy baby, and make it so fun to be your mommy. You are still pretty "anti-NOISE", but we try to be loud so you get used to it. You know exactly what time is naptime, and you never fight me on it. I still swaddle you, with both arms, because when I tried to leave an arm out, you were waking up 3 and 4 times a night! This mommy needs her beauty sleep. :) We'll work on leaving an arm out this month, especially since you like to move around at night. You roll all over the place, but mostly from stomach to back. And you are so interested in Lexi and anyone or anything around you. Since we started food, you drink a lot less formula, going more like 4 hours in between each bottle. I think you would prefer to have food any day. So far, you are not a fan of my homemade food. :( You like the Gerber food way better. You like Green beans, bananas, and apples ALOT! The rest we are still working on you warming up to. We are also working on sitting up, which you do a pretty good job of...for about 15 seconds! Don't worry little one, we'll get there. Im in absolutely no hurry for you to start crawling bc I am already so overwhelmed with you two! Overwhelmed in a good way, I might add! Keep overwhelming my love, I love you more than words can express. 

At Age 5 Months, you: 

- wear size 2 (we're switching to 3) diapers

- Size 3-6 onesies still, barely

- Size 9 month carters pajamas and onesies 

- Size 9 months clothes easily

- Size 2/3 shoes. We don't wear shoes very often. 

- You sleep 7:30 to 6 or 6:30 every night

- You love to gurgle when you are on your back! Its so funny and cute! 

- You eat 5 oz bottles about every 4 hours (5 a day) and eat twice a day. 

- You take 3 naps a day, one around 9, around 1, and then around 4 or 5. 

- You watch whatever is on TV bc you love the colors and sound. Mostly we watch Lion King bc your brother is obsessed! 

I love that you already love your brother so much. He is so happy to see you all the time, and is NEVER mean to you. He always wants to give you toys, feed you, hold you, and talk to you. Its amazing how well you both interact! Love you my bear bear. :)
